I dant think God does, for he ain't got noting to say about teem and editors in the Bible. t think he is one of the Missing links ytiu read of, and stayed in the bushes until after the ?seed and then carne out and wrote the thing t#p, end has been here ever since, I don't think he over dies; I never saw a dead one and never heard of one beinglicked. Our paper hi a mighty good one, paw ain't paid his subscription since the paper started. I asked paw if that was why the editor had to suck the juice out of snowballs in winter and go to bed when he had n shirt washed in sunuper, And then paw took me out into the woodshed and he licked me awful hard. If the editor makes a mistake folks say he ought to be hn;; but if a doctor makes a mistake be buries it and people dassent say any- thing because doctors can read and write lath), When an editor makes a mistake there are law -suits, and a big fuss; but if a doctor makes one there is a funeral, cut flowers and a perfect silence, If the doctor goes to see fill other man's wife he charges for the visit, but if the editor goes he gets a charge of buckshot. When a doctor gets drunk it's a case of being over- come with heat. and if he dies it's heart trouble; when an editor gets drunk it's a case of two much booze, and if he dies it's jimjams. * k ;the four papers for $3.9o. • If the p'iblication you want is not in above list lets *us know.

Since the year 1898, or for 16 consec- utive years, records have been kept of the yields of over 3,000 apple trees in the the orchards at the Central Experi- mental Farm. From the above records at the following data are taken: The McIntosh apple comes into bear- ing the sixth year after planting at Ottawa. with 22 quarts of fruit, and increases up to the 19th year, in which it yields len barrels, after which it dim- inishes slowly. Taking the average for 19 years, the yield per year from one tree was about 2% barrels. The Duchess apple begins bearing the third year after it is planted, and the maximum crop so far has been reached in the 24th year, when a yield of over eight barrels was obtained from one tree. The average yield from the 3rd to the 26th year is about two barrels per tree, and from the 10th to the 26th three barrels. ,7 Wealthy is one of the earliest and most productive bearers, but it does not become a targe tree. It begins bearing the second or third year after planting. The highest yield obtained from a Wealthy in one year was 5% bar- rels in the 24th year. The average yield per year from the 3rd to the 26th year is about a barrel and a half. From the 20th to the 26th year the av- erage is 2a/ barrels per tree. This variety, as a rule, bears heavily one year and has a light crop the next.— W.

Lettuce'has asooth- ing, quieting effect upon the nerves and is a remedy for insomnia. Celery is an acknowledged nerve tonic. Onions are also a tonic for the nerves. Potatoes should be eschewed by those who "have a horror for getting fat." Spinach has medicinal properties equal to the most indigo of all blue pills ever made. Pars- nips, it is contended by scientists, possess almost the virtues claimed for sarsaparilla. Asparagus is ficacious in kidney ailments. Cucumbers contain an acid that is helpful in some cases of dyspepsia, but aware of them if not fresh: Cabbage in Holland is regarded as something of a blood purifier. Par- sley will assist good digestion like cheese and nuts. Pumpkins are an in- gredient in a certain patent medicine that is guaranteed to cure quite a variety of the ailments that flesh is heir to, but the world is increasing in in- habitants who do not believe all they hear. Rhubarb, celery, lemons, sour oranges and all other tart fruits are especially beneficial to those suffering from rheumatic troubles. Onions,• celery and turnips relieve nervous dis- orders, onions being accounted the best nervine known. Digestion is promoted by the use of onions, tomatoes, olives, garlic and peanuts. Elderberries are considered beneficial to those suffering from dropsy. Spinach and onions re- lieve gravel. Carrots are good for asthmatic patients. Turnips, onions and salt relieve scurvy. And there is scarcely anything better than lemons to breast up a cold. to relieve feverish thirst, biliousness, low fevers, liver troubles and rheumatism.

As the prevalence of atnut thin sea- son may greatly reduce the expected yield of oats, stepsmeet be taken to 511 their place in the feed ration with other sources of protein, since oats a heat are an expensive portein concern trate, It is impossible to set a fixed value on the nourishment to be found in different feeds owing to the shifting of market prices, and this shifting of market prices is a matter which moat be considered by every feeder of animals since equally good results can be obtain- ed from different combinations of grains and other more concentrated feeds, This applies to horses as well as other animals, although oats as a horse feed is so much in favor that a change to other grain or combinations of grains is difficult to make owing largely to pre- judice. A combination of corn, oil meal and wheat, bran or oats would be cheaper than straight Date with prices at an average height, and there are many other combinations that could be used to advantage. For other live stock than horses, barley is considered a more valuable feed than oats by many, and it certain- ly has a higher value theoretically pound for pound for fattening, but the relative scarcity of this grain, owing to the impossibility of growing it on many farms, makes the practice of feeding it less common than is desirable. Barley, for fattening cattle and pigs, is es- pecially valuable, and se it can be grown in latitudes where the ripening of corn is impossible, it is a pity that more of this grain is not grown. Barley must be fed cautiously to dairy cows and should not make up more than half of the meal ration for these animals. • Like a meteor in its rising, but like a fixed star in its persistance, the car- eer of Lloyd George has utterly con- founded his critics, writes Byron H. Stauffer, in The Christian Guardian. Precocious boy, free lance, commercial expert, wizard of budgets, dynamo of inspiration. What next? I like to recollect that he arose from the ranks of the humble. His is an Abraham Lincoln sort of ascent I am not surprised that he has the great emancipator's picture and mottoes on his desk. The barefoot Welsh boy has become his country's idol, and per- haps, his country's savior. In his shoe- maker uncle's family they rarely had fresh meat, and the crowding luxury of the week was half an egg per child at the Sunday breakfast. But that co:.- bler shop was a local parliament, where the affairs of the nation were settled by the village philosophers. The shop was Lloyd George's university. Like our own Sir John A. McDonald, he scarcely had a boyhood; he was born in 1863, waxed serious over politics at fif- teen, wrote editorials long before he could vote, opened his law office at twenty-one, became an alderman at twenty six, and an M. P. at twenty-sev- en; he has been a Cabinet Minister for ten years, and was Chancellor of the Exchequer et forty-six. Pretty good product of crude tools like the village ehool, the shoemaker shop, the local ' debating club and the little Welsh Ichureh. Col. Frank S. Meighen, of Montreal, who commanded the lath Battalion at St. Julien, has been promoted to the !rank of Brigadier -General.

A Lumberman'a Opinion "I was troubled with palpitation of the heart and sleeplessness." writes Mr Wm. Pritchard, Lumber Inspector, Lumsden Mills, Ont., "and used Dr, Chase's Neave Food with very great benefit, as my whole system was strengthened and built up." Dr. Chase's Nerve Food forms new, rich blood and restores the feeble, wasted nerve cells. MANURE AND FERTILIZERS, The Division of Chemistry of the Dominion Department of Agriculture has issued another of that useful series of circulars by Dr. Frank T. Shutt, Dominion Chemist. This one, Circular No, 8, deals with "Manures and Fertili- zers," and, like all the work of the doctor, is at once explicit and practical. The first section is devoted to a de- scription of experiences at the Central and other experimental farms, and the second is devoted to a summary and to advice that if followed cannot help but benefit the farm and profit the follower. Here are a few sentences that illustrate the conclusions arrived at and the counsel given by Dr. Shutt: Barnyard manure is the most effec- tive of all fertilizers. The liquid portion of the manure is the most valuable. Use sufficient litter in the stables to absorb the liquid. The amount of manure on a farm being insufficient, frequent light dress- ings are advisable, instead of larger ones at longer intervals. The manure is most advantageously applied for the root or corn crop in the rotation. It is not wise to "bury" the manure; a shallow plowing under is more ad- visable.' Rational farming involves a rotation of crops. Such, in brief, are a few of the con- clusions arrived at by Dr. Shutt, but to get real benefit from the circular, ap- plication should be made for it to the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. Sir William Cornelius Van Horne, ex - Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Canadian Pacific Railway, died at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal, Saturday afternoon. Some Measures.

DoWt Buy e.Furitlo4 tlnloot You Aro Positive They Are Sound. A good counselor of Wall street was talldng to are about investments in noel's. IHe said:. "Tell people not to be In n hurry to buy. The average investor, as differ- entiated from the steady epeculalor, idean't put much money into stocks, and what he does invest is apt to be the accumulation of menthe or years. $q an very well afford to wait until he Suds out about the stock which in• terest6 him.

Suppose in that time prices do rise steadily and the stocks prove to be sound—the increased price in tbat case 011 be a small tax On their ultimate profits." It is good advice for all investors of small experience. An Investment ought to have a market price --whether it be stocks, bonds, mortgages, com- mercial notes, farms or city real estate. The market price of a safe and sound investment ought, on the whole, to rise; when it sags the depression ought not to be great, and it aught to bp due to perfectly logical and easily understand- able causes. 13eware of the seller who tries to hurry you into buying, by saying that the market price of what he has to sell is going up. in most instances you'll find that he's wrong, and if it does go up consistently and logically over a pe- riod of months you may reasonably ex- pect that after you buy it its rise will continue. Don't be in a burry. You can easily lose in an hour what has required years to accumulate. Look, listen. in- vestigate! The financial history of in- vestments open to the average buyer can be learued—usually the bank in which you have your money deposited eau put you in the way of learning it For every cent spent In finding out be- fore buying theiinvestor will get back a dollar in safety and better returns.— John Al. Oskison in Chicago News. FIRST RECORDED ECLIPSE. Chinese Astronomer's Were 'Punished For Not Predicting It, Messrs. Ilirayama and Ogura have published in the proceedings of the Tokyo Mathematico-physical society the results of tbeir attempts to fix the dates of some early eclipses recorded in Chinese literature. The earliest is mentioned in one of the books of the She Ching, where it is recorded that in the region of Chung Wang, the fourth emperor of the Elsie dynasty, there occurred an eclipse of the sun which had not been predicted by the astronomers, who were alleged to have been drunk and to have neglected their duties. Bence the cus- tomary rites for delivering the sun. which should have been ,arranged in advance and superintended by the as- tronomers. were in the emergency per- formed by other officials without proper preparation. The emperor ac- cordingly ordered the army to punish the astronomers. A later document makes it possible to fix the date of this event as Oct. 13. 2127 B. C. (Julien calendar)—the earli- est recorded eclipse in the world. Cal- culation shows that there actually was a solar eclipse on that date, but prob- ably not in China. though the elements of the motions of the sun and moon are not accurate enough to indicate certainly the path of so remote an eclipse. The authors are inclined to think that the Inforivntiou fixing the date of the eclipse is dun to Chinese astronomers of a later Me, who cal- culated that an eclipse occurred on that date and erroneously supposed that it was visible in China. Rubber and Gutta Percha. There are important distinctions be- tween India rubber and gutta percha, and in the majority of purposes for which they are employed one cannot replace the other. While the trees yielding India rubber are well distrib- uted over the tropical parts of the world and may be cultivated with more or less facility, the tree which furnishes gutta percha Ls to be found only in Borneo, Sumatra and the Ma- lay archipelago generally, In the Stilly Night.
